[PATCH v3 2/2] list-objects-filter: handle unresolved sparse filter OID

[Jon Simons <jon@jonsimons.org>]

Handle a potential NULL 'sparse_oid_value' when attempting to load
sparse filter exclusions by blob, to avoid segfaulting later during
'add_excludes_from_blob_to_list'.

While here, uniquify the errors emitted to distinguish between the
case that a given OID is NULL due to an earlier failure to resolve it,
and when an OID resolves but parsing the sparse filter spec fails.

t5616 is updated to demonstrate the change.
